i am not talking about remittances though that is also a legit use case. i just meant overseas business. i don't really see its electricity use as a big issue since market forces will inevitably reduce cost or increase supply. part of the reason though people will put a lot into an experiment like this is that the network effect is important to its success. needs to be very liquid. for me personally having a fungible electronic currency that cannot be taken away by law or inflation is itself valuable
